Comments:
Loved this experience and would use AMBergh again to revisit St Petersburg in the Winter but would probably do a week and a homestay. Did not go with the homestay option originally as did not want to be located too far out and understand most host families are away from the Centre. Think providers need to rethink how they can tap into the "Grey Pound" like myself in providing less daunting ways of teaching......

Accommodation:4/5
Shared flat, single bedroom, Great location; had a twin room to myself; Lucky to have a lovely flatmate even if he was 35 years my junior! Only downside was a poorly kitted out kitchen (issue of knives was addressed) and no internet provision at one weekend

What would you like to improve?
A bit more attention to the needs of an older learner. We work at a slower pace, and generally are doing a course for fun rather than work related reasons. Felt the School was not great about bringing students together although I would concede that I did not participate on their day activities. Did do one tour to the Hermitage which was well done. Bit aware of the shortage of ´mature´ students !!!

How did you find out about AMBergh?
Friend A fellow student in DUblin did his erasmus through you in Kiev

Reason for your studies:
Personal interest Pleasure too and looking out for the next business opportunity!
